What should a proposal for wander management show?
The short answer
A wander management proposal should show the monitored areas, equipment, device assignments, alert destinations and interfaces included in the price. It should identify qualified-review dependencies, acceptance scenarios, staff training and the owners of response and maintenance procedures. Require clear exclusions and avoid treating an equipment proposal as a guarantee of resident safety or a substitute for facility policy.

Ask for a coverage and responsibility schedule
The same area names should appear on the plan, equipment schedule and acceptance checklist. Describe optional features separately and identify who approves any proposed interaction with doors or other systems. Unresolved operating-policy questions should be visible before purchase, together with the party responsible for resolving them.
